She called 911, but was told, “It was held for overtime parking.”Cammelleri was confused.There weren't any “No Parking” signs posted along the roadside.Her truck was licensed and drivable.Plus, she'd been parking it on the street nearly every day and night since she'd moved into her home two and a half years earlier. Later, when a police officer sent the ticket, she found she'd been fined D|S120 for breaking a village parking law.She looked it up online.It said that it was illegal to park“any motor vehicle camper, trailer, and/or non motorized vehicle” on a street for more than 24 hours. She didn't believe that the law applied to her vehicle.“My truck wasn't a ‘motor vehicle camper’，” she says. She went to the city office to point out the grammatical error, expecting the mayor to “give up the ticket”．That didn't happen, so she officially fought the law.The village argued that the law did apply, despite the missing comma (逗号) between the phrase “motor vehicle” and the word “camper”．The court agreed, ruling that she had to pay the fine. She didn't give up.On June 22, 2015, the three judges in higher court generally supported her, which is called“a victory for punctuation”．“According to grammar rules, items in a series are separated by commas，”judge Robert Hendrickson wrote.“Reading ‘motor vehicle camper’ as one item does not produce an absurd result.If the village desires a different reading, it should put a comma between the phrase ‘motor vehicle’ and ‘camper’．”In the end, the village took his advice. 1．What happened to Cammelleri's truck A．It was parked at a wrong place. B．It broke down on the street. C．It was stolen by a thief at night. D．It was taken away by the police. 2．Why did Cammelleri think the law didn't apply to her truck A．She had her license to drive her truck. B．She lived there for two and a half years.

A．failed in her first case B．won the support of the mayor C．was fined for refusing the ticket D．made the court admit the grammar mistake 4．What is the main idea of the text A．A comma makes a woman avoid a parking ticket. B．A woman refuses to pay a fine for parking wrongly. C．A parking ticket leads to a change of grammar rules. D．A court judgment shows the importance of grammar.
